Christmas is coming!!

I know its still a little bit away, but I'm sure some of you are already thinking about Christmas! Do you feel the need for a Christmas quilt to snuggle up under watching classic films and waiting for Santa to arrive? We might just have the answer for you!

Sara over at Sew Sweetness is coordinating a great sampler quilt along starting at the end of this month, and I am really excited to be one of the 12 bloggers contributing a block to this project! Each block in the quiltalong will be Christmas-themed and the tutorials for each block will be available on each
designers' blog, over a 6-week period, giving you plenty
of time to complete and giving you a lovely sampler quilt top at the end!

Sara's estimate is that the quilt top will require 12 fat
quarters, or 1 layer cake. You could also pull from your stash or your solids - I know I have some nice big Christmas scraps & FQs right at the back of my stash shelf from last year that I'll be using, with some complimentary solids! In addition to that, you will need approximately
1-1/2 yard of solid fabric for the sashing.

Here is the schedule for when each of the 12 block tutorials will appear on the relevant blog. As you can see, I'm taking a little rest after the ATS QAL before jumping in with my tutorial toward the end of November!

About Me

Welcome! I'm Sarah and I love to sew - anything from modern quilting, to embroidery makes me happy! I'm also a busy working mum to 3 small people. This blog is my little escape from the madness of my everyday life.
